Greg just salivates a lot, usually when he sees intact flyfishing gear, and
anticipates its imminent destruction.

Sorry if it seemed that way Greg,

I think I said High profile, but I'll go with "high-priced". However I
didn't believe I was justifying it. I certainly wasn't comparing because I
didn't think they measured up to the brand I like but I did think they were
a lot of rod for the money.

I find it interesting that if I am totally parochial about the rods I favor
then I am considered biased and if I do offer an compliment to another brand
I am "justifying" it.

The reason I put in the opening statement was more to endorse the following
comments as those that know me personally will know I have preference and to
endorse another brand takes a bit of doing for me. The comment was meant to
enhance the comments not justify them. :)

It's no secret I am a fan of a fairly high profile brand. But I recently
cast with several rods from the cabelas range and have to say, on a value
for money basis, pretty damn hard to beat!



Ever notice how these fans of the high-priced
stuff always have to qualify their approval for
anything that costs less than an arm & a leg
one's first newborn ?

An Audi ??? What are you trying to do, get

path for a while, don't know how far he's
gotten.


Having a father that worked inthe US steel industry his whole career,
if could find an American built mid-size sedan with AWD, decent
handling that gets 35 mpg I'd buy it. I the meantime I'll stick with my
6 year old Audi A4 Quattro.


Six years old, eh ? And they still haven't let
you in ??

My father's major marketing research account was
GM. Some of the stories he had to tell would have
fit right into David Halberstam's book.


From the organization that brought us Robert Strange McNamara IIRC?
The results of me mixing with anyone of the Clinton crowd would be
amusing but certainly would result in someone having to get peeled off
of someone.

I (along with everyone else) was ordered to wait in a Hangar in Aviano
for him and herself to show up and thank us for a "job well done" after
the Kosovo debacle. He was four hours late and the only people that he
shook hands with were the handpicked rainbow coalition up front. We
were just there for background. .. rant-off

Welllll, now that Ford has applied its own highly-regarded
quality control systems to the marque, why not ??


I don't think Ford has meddled with the production standards at Jaguar,
and I'm certain they have also left Volvo alone since that acquisition. My
Volvo was built since Ford took over, and it's a delightful machine; my
company car is a 2002 Ford Crown Vic, and it's as miserable of a flaming
death trap as ever rolled down the highway.

The Dallas officer mentioned in the last article was the younger brother
of one of my closest friends. Ford's official attitude has been "Screw 'em,
we are the only makers of a suitable full size American sedan, and they HAVE
to buy from us, so we ain't fixing nuthin." Because of this, I will never
purchase a Ford product, and I won't replace my beloved Volvo with another
as Ford stands to profit.
